Intersecting of gender dynamic with green transition
2024I examine the intersection of gender and the green transition, focusing on a thermal power plant in South Korea. Through multidisciplinary research involving ethnographic interviews, field observations, media analysis, and historical context, I reveal some of the less-talked-about tensions, challenges, and contradictions inherent in the country’s green transition, especially regarding women.
